A robust tagging structure—also known as a taxonomy—is the central element of an effective research repository. 

But what makes a taxonomy “good”? And how do you create a system that will work for your organization?

Sina Schreiber, UX Researcher & Content Strategist at Condens, and Roberta Dombrowski, VP of User Research at User Interviews, hosted a workshop to provide practical tips on how to create an effective taxonomy.
